...wane according to the time of the year. It has staying power because the student members of PIRG hire (and fire if necessary) professionals--lawyers, economists, MBAs, and public health experts who carry through projects when students are occupied with exams, papers and vacations. When students move out of the state at the conclusion of their undergraduate studies, the staff is there to see that other students carry on their projects.

The guerrillas have traditionally infiltrated across the border to launch offensives during the December-January wet season, when thicker vegetation provides added cover.

If a female cannot attract a permanent mate, but can manage to become impregnated by a mated male, it makes sense to move in with another female who can share duties of protecting and feeding the young. Such behavior, says George Hunt, "would increase the probabilities of raising the young from zero to about 10%." So far the Hunts have "tentative, preliminary evidence" of a male shortage among the birds, but not enough to explain...
